Our Story
A practice built on relationships
Atlas Dental was founded by Dr. Emily Chen in 2010 with a clear vision: to create a dental practice where clinical excellence meets genuine compassion. After years of working in corporate dental settings, Dr. Chen knew there had to be a better way—one that put patients first, never rushed appointments, and treated every person who walked through the door like family.
What started as a small practice has grown into a trusted community resource, serving thousands of patients across Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and beyond. Our success isn't measured by numbers alone—it's reflected in the smiles of our patients and the lasting relationships we've built over the years.
